Chimu are also the Foundation s major sponsors providing office space and facilities in Sydney. They are also major sponsors of the Australian Antarctic Festival held in Hobart every two years.
MAWSN S HUTS FUNDATIN Mission Statement The Mawson s Huts Foundation exists to conserve in perpetuity for the Australian people the unique historical buildings known as Mawson s Huts at Cape Denison on Commonwealth Bay, base for the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) of 1911-14 led by Australia s greatest polar explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. The Foundation was established in 1997 with the support of the Federal Government to conserve the fragile and historic buildings which are of national and international importance. Rare in a world context as they are just one of six complexes surviving from the heroic era of Antarctic exploration between 1896 and 1916. Regarded as the birthplace of Australia s Antarctic heritage, Mawson s Huts consist of one main building comprising two huts for living, accommodation and workshop and three structures use to record and conduct scientific work. The Cape Denison site also has great heritage value as Mawson s expedition was the foundation of Australia s current Antarctic programme. During the last 20 years the Foundation has organised and financed 20 major expeditions to undertake conservation and maintenance programmes in partnership with the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) which has responsibility for the site on behalf of the Australian Government. The Foundation s first expedition in 1997-98 was preceded with a two person team the previous summer consisting of a heritage conservation expert and an architect/photographer who helped to prepare a detailed works programme for a team of 15 who arrived 12 months later. This team of heritage specialists saved Mawson s Huts from imploding and being blown into the Southern cean. Since then the Foundation has raised nearly 10 million dollars in cash and in- kind support with just under three million of this total coming from special grants from the Federal Government. Based in Sydney, the Foundation has an active campaign to help raise further funds for future expeditions. Its last expedition in 2015-16 removed all but 10 per cent of the remaining ice from the interior and carried out critical maintenance and repairs to the huts. Each expedition costs in the vicinity of $600,000. The Foundation built and operates the award winning Mawson s Huts Replica Museum (www. mawsons-huts-replica.org.au) which is on the Hobart waterfront just 150 metres from where Douglas Mawson and his expedition departed from on December 2, 1911. The Replica Museum assists in raising funds for the conservation of the original huts as does the four day Australian Antarctic Festival held every two years to help promote the city as the gateway to the Antarctic for the Asia Pacific region and Australia s work in the Antarctic.

ABUT PENGUINS Popular worldwide, penguins have been the subject of hundreds of books and documentaries and are endeared for their upright waddling gait and lack of fear of humans. The world s 17 main species of penguin live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere with only one, the Galapagos, found north of the equator. Seven of the species are regarded as Antarctic penguins. Four live and nest on and around the Antarctic continent while a further three nest on Antarctic and sub-antarctic islands. These flightless birds which fascinate people the world over, are thought to have evolved about 60 million years ago. They range in height from 1.1 m to just 40 cm and spend about half of the time equally divided between land and water. They live on fish, squid and crustaceans. ne species, the Yellow-Eye from New Zealand is particularly tenacious when searching for food. It has been recorded making 200 dives in a single day up to depths of 120 metres looking for fish. The larger Emperor penguin has been recorded diving to a depth of 565 metres but the smaller Blue penguins dive only a few metres for their meals. These fascinating and wonderful birds need to be understood and every effort made to ensure they and the environment they live in are protected.
ANTARCTICA MAP EMPERR PENGUINS At 1.1m tall, the emperor penguin towers above any other living penguin on Earth. They are mainly found on the Antarctic mainland and are also the only species to breed in the winter months. KING PENGUINS King penguins are the second largest penguin, standing 85 95cm tall. They typically breed in 2 years out of 3, they have no nests and their eggs are incubated on the adults feet. YELLW EYED The yellow-eyed penguin is a tall, heavy penguin with a distinctive pale yellow uncrested band of feathers passing across the nape and around the eyes. Pairs may be seen together at nests sites as early as July-August. RYAL PENGUINS Royal penguins get their name from the yellow crest on their heads. The only place in the world that they breed is Macquarie Island which is also home to its largest colony. SNARES ISLAND Snares Penguins are very similar to the Fiordland species, but the featherless area at the beginning of their beaks can help to identify them. It breeding in the summer of New Zealand (September - January) Galapagos Island SUTH AMERICA ARGENTINA CHILE Falkland Islands ATLANTIC CEAN Prince Edward & Marion Islands South Georgia South Sandwich Islands South rkney Islands Antarctic Peninsula ANTARCTICA ANTARCTIC CIRCLE SUTH AFRICA Crozet Islands HUMBLDT They have a black head with a white border that runs from behind the eye, around the black ear-coverts and chin, and joins at the throat. They have blackish-grey upperparts and whitish underparts, with a black breast-band that extends down the flanks to the thigh. GALAPAGS The Galápagos penguin is a penguin endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. They breed two to three times a year, most breeding takes place between May and July. Heard Island & Mc Donald Island INDIAN CEAN MACARNI Macaroni penguins are mostly found on the Sub Antarctic Islands. Their longevity is not well known, but estimated at 20 years or more. ADÉLIE Adélies are found around the entire coast and small islands of Antarctica. They are excellent swimmers and have been recorded swimming as far as 300 km to forage for food for their chicks. CHINSTRAP Chinstraps are one of the most distinguishable of all penguins. They have a thin black line running across their cheeks making them look like chin straps. They are medium-size in build and usually breed on hillside slopes. RCKHPPER PENGUINS Their eyes are red and at 50cm are considerably shorter than other penguin species. They often burst from the water and land with a belly flop. LITTLE R LITTLE BLUE The little penguin is the smallest species of penguin. They live for an average of seven years, and are ready for their first breeding season at around three years of age. ERECT CRESTED The erect-crested penguin is one of three similarlooking crested penguins endemic to southern New Zealand. Its main breeding grounds are on the remote Bounty and Antipodes Islands in September and lay in early-mid ctober. PACIFIC CEAN Bishop and Clerk Islet GENT PENGUINS Gentoo penguins have a distinctive bright orange beak and a white patch around and behind the eye. They are mainly found on the Sub Antarctic Islands and can make as many as 450 dives per day when foraging for krill, their main diet. MAGELLANIC The Magellanic penguin is named in honour of the maritime explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who first recorded it during an expedition ( 1519). A medium-sized penguin, it can be identified by the distinctive white bands which loop over the eye, down the side of the neck and meet at the throat. AFRICAN They have a black stripe and black spots on the chest, the pattern of spots being unique for every penguin, like human fingerprints. Nesting usually peaking from March to May in South Africa, and November and December in Namibia FIRDLAND CRESTED They have dark blue-grey/black upperparts, often darker on the head. A broad yellow eyebrow stripe starts at the nostril and extends well past the eye, drooping down the neck; 3-6 whitish stripes on the cheeks are displayed when agitated. They create 2 eggs witch are laid about 3-6 days apart in July-August. Antipodes Island Campbell Island NEW ZEALAND Macquaire Island Auckland Islands Snares Islands AUSTRALIA

FUN #1 Penguins can drink salt water as their supraorbital gland filters the salt from their bloodstream. FUN #3 Penguins cannot breath underwater; the duration of their dives varies between species, from 7 to 20 minutes. FUN #5 Penguins do not have teeth but do have spines on both their tongues and the inside of their beaks to help them grip their prey. FUN #2 Gentoo penguins are the world s fastest underwater birds; they can reach speeds of up to 36 kilometers per hour! FUN #4 Penguin s black and white plumage serves as camouflage while swimming. The black plumage on their back is hard to see from above, while the white plumage on their front looks like the sun reflecting off the surface of the water when seen from below. FUN #6 The stereotypical gender roles are reversed in emperor penguins, as the female goes out to hunt whilst the male incubates the egg. nce hatched, the male will also produce milk for the chick from a gland in his esophagus. FUN ABUT PENGUINS - FUN #7 FUN #8 While other birds have wings for flying, penguins have adapted flippers to help them swim in the water. Penguins produce oil from a gland near their tails, which they use to provide a waterproof coat for their feathers.
